Uh-oh. We've had an Erik Watts sighting...

 

[Toki767]

Hmm...NXT is going to be getting a major budget cut soon? I wonder who's getting let go. I'm going to bet CJ Parker is one of them.

 

[Vylash]

Another reason to not watch raw

**Kevin Hart is hosting Raw tonight in Cleveland.

Kevin Hart is one of the few funny comedians left

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[Lambda Pie]

Lambada, did you pick Pride 33 for me because the between rounds music is the stock music WCW used for Thunder? Because it totally is.

i fuckin knew it sounded familiar!

 

[British Monsoon]

As boring as Tiger Jeet Singh could be in the ring, I don't think I've seen a single wrestler scare the crap out of Japanese crowds quite as easily as him. He had whole sections of the crowd just scrambling to get away whenever he came near. Also, Gypsy Joe was pretty awful, like most early 'hardcorr' wrestlers. Although, a great example of a limited guy who managed to have a long-ass career, jumping from territory to territory.

 

[Sblargh]

You can keep your fancy screens, I can walk out of my house now and go watch the world cup

Spoiler

after one bus ride, plus train, plus subway and probably a batallion of the military police ready to shoot anyone who isn't a tourist

 

[Aiii]

Kevin Hart is one of the few funny comedians left

Kevin Hart is great, looking forward to watching him try to turn WWE comedy into something that is actually funny.

 

[strobogo]

Kevin Hart isn't funny and you're likely to get a Miz/Hart segment full of cheap Cleveland pops.

 

[Lambda Pie]

i found about Portugal's 4-0 loss on Facebook of all places. far more concerned about the spanish cunts from Madrid trying to take Oblak away from Benfica and Enzo imminent move to Valencia. now that's shit that keeps you up at night

did West Ham sign anyone yet, Boots?

 

[Laserfrog]

I hope Bret Hart comes out to tell some jokes.

 

[Sblargh]

Hmm...NXT is going to be getting a major budget cut soon? I wonder who's getting let go. I'm going to bet CJ Parker is one of them.

I don't remember one single match of his, just a lot of attempts at selling a horrible gimmick. And I generally like every gimmick ever.

 

[Data West]

Kevin Hart is Patrice O'neal for moms.

 

[strobogo]

What do you call it when you have a loose screw and you have to tighten it excellently?

A Screw Job.

Bret Hart

 

[British Monsoon]

did West Ham sign anyone yet, Boots?

Yep, we've signed Zarate up front on a free transfer and some defenisve midfielder named Kouyate from Anderlecht is in London having a medical with us. We still need a left back, though.

*edit, oh yeah, and Teddy Sherringham is our new attacking coach.

 

[slightconfuse]

Kevin Hart is Tyler perry and Dane cook combined

 

[strobogo]

Kevin Hart is Katt Williams if you stripped all the hood, hair, and funny from Katt.

 

[Professor Beef]

Kevin Hart is Tyler perry and Dane cook combined

Dane Cook is funny though.

 

[gurudyne]

I don't remember one single match of his, just a lot of attempts at horribly selling a gimmick.

FTFY. Annoying, preachy hippy heel is a decent gimmick. He sucked because he wasn't playing a hippy at the outset, he was dancing like a moron and had dreads.

 

[Lambda Pie]

you should've gone for Siqueira when he was available. stellar player.

 

[Data West]

I can't wait for Natalya to point up at the sky and go KEVIIIIIINNNNNN

 

[Aiii]

NXT employs between 80-100 wrestlers currently, about 25 or so which appear regularly on the show. If they are cutting people it's gonna be unknowns and maybe some guys that been in developmental too long without getting called up.

Mojo isn't going anywhere guys.

That's what everyone thought about JTG. No one is safe. Not even JohnSinafuck.com

 

[British Monsoon]

Yeah, but when a player's got a choice between joining the La Liga champions and West Ham, they rarely choose West Ham, lol.

 

[Laserfrog]

Sounds like a fun pact three hours of entertainment, I can't wait to watch it in 30 days on The Network.

http://www.lolwrestling.com/how-long-has-jtg-been-employed/

So close, yet so far.

 

[Macho Madness]

Probably the second MITB if I had to guess

 

[Aiii]

Good call.

 

[Lambda Pie]

Yeah, but when a player's got a choice between joining the La Liga champions and West Ham, they rarely choose West Ham, lol.

we give him 3 titles in one season and he leaves

well, we actually couldn't afford him.

 

[strobogo]

Lambada, why did no one tell me Angela Merkle was a ring announcer for PRIDE before becoming Chancellor of Germany?

Show some damn respect to ze Germans.

[Deleted member 47027]

Kick ass tag match on the first AJPW TV episode of 1985 - Tenryu and Matoshi Okuma vs Ishin Gundan of Choshu & Hamaguchi. Okuma is great, stiff as fuck and has just about three moves; chop, punch, headbutt. To be fair, he does every variation of a headbutt imaginable. At one point he trades headbutts with Hamaguchi (another tough wrestler known for his headbutts) and just headbutts him in the goddamn face. Choshu's being a dick throughout (as befits the leader of an invading promotion) and the crowd pops huge when Tenryu gets his hands on him. Hamaguchi gets busted open the hard way (headbutt) and Choshu goes crazy in the finishing stretch. Great match, goddamn.

Bodes well for the ones I ordered. Excited as shit, but it'll take me a year to get through.

 

[Lambda Pie]

Lenne Hardt. yet another example of japanese MMA presentation shitting all over UFC.

 

[Data West]

I just saw Ambrose's rebound clothesline from Smackdown to Bray.

No hyperbole, that may be the worst rebound clothesline of all time.

 

[British Monsoon]

I fucking hate the fake Pride announcer New Japan have been using this year. So annoying.

we give him 3 titles in one season and he leaves

well, we actually couldn't afford him.

Us either, I doubt you'll see us spend anywhere near 10 million on one player this transfer window. We're after left back Timothee Kolodziejczak, if the papers are to be believed, but Sam's probably wary of taking a gamble on the French leagues after Maiga was such a monumental flop.

 

[Razorskin]

Probably the second MITB if I had to guess

JTG announcement along with tribute video.

 

[Data West]

I don't remember anything about JTG's wrestling, and I know we joke about everyone in Bullet Club... But I actually think JTG would be a pretty decent 'oh wow' pick for them.

 

[Jimmy King]

I just saw Ambrose's rebound clothesline from Smackdown to Bray.

No hyperbole, that may be the worst rebound clothesline of all time.

I went on WWE's YouTube to check it out but didn't see it in the clip they have. I did see Bray getting buried even in a win though. Dude beat Bryan clean a couple months ago but can only get a win against Ambrose via distraction.

 

[Perspicacity]

I hope Bret Hart comes out to tell some jokes.

"Hello Cleveland! Your hometown hero The Miz is married to former Diva's Champion Maryse. Guess I'm not the only person to get a Montreal Screwjob!"

*Starts weeping*

"I just felt like they betrayed my legacy"

 

[Data West]

Bret brings new meaning to the term dark humor.

Bret Hart's routine will never be as good as the one I imagine in my head. Like it's just him all excited and making these lame joke book quality jokes, and it's incredible because he's so into it.

But the internets told me to stop whining and that Cena put him over big

 

[blackaroni]

Damn, so much Kevin Hart hate in here. He's only on the show for one night...Miz is here for life.

 

[FallingEdge]

"Hello Cleveland! Your hometown hero The Miz is married to former Diva's Champion Maryse. Guess I'm not the only person to get a Montreal Screwjob!"

LOLOL

man i fucking love it

 

[DMczaf]

"I just felt like they betrayed my legacy"

I read this in laserfrog's broken Bret Hart Canadian accent and started cracking up in the office.

 

[strobogo]

My bad. I even had her wiki pulled up to make sure I had everything right.

Lenne Hardt. yet another example of japanese MMA presentation shitting all over UFC.

And no one told me that she gets possesed by a demon half way through intros. What the fuuuuck

I watched that match as well and he was not buried at all. Its just easy to use that term when its used wrong all time.

Also, he is so buried being in the title match.

 

[Data West]

Because you can't be in the title picture and not be buried

 

[Macho Madness]

"Jinder Mahal, Drew McIntyre, Brodus Clay. A big old list of C+ players in an A+ world. Adapt or perish, you shits."

 

[Jimmy King]

How many times must we have the discussion about the term "buried"?

Bray is a chump now. Months ago people thought he'd be the next Undertaker.

 

[DMczaf]

If Brodus tries to insinuate at all during his YouShoot that WWE was holding him back, just play the clip of him running at Adrian Neville with the belt.
